Villagers in Adamawa Kill 70 Hungry Boko Haram Members

This Boko Haram issue is getting serious, even making non-killers to become killers, just to protect their lives.

No fewer than 70 members of the Boko Haram sect have been killed and seven other captured alive by a vigilante group in Madagali, a town in Adamawa State.

It was gathered that the civilian forces acted upon a piece of information by a local food vendor that the terror group were coming to get food before heading out for a major operation to raid villages in the area.

According to SaharaReporters, the group mobilized, laid ambush and waited patiently for the militants.

  
A resident squealed that, as soon as the gunmen numbering about 100 arrived the village to buy food, vigilantes pounced on them, killing most of them.

A member of the vigilante group said the Nigerian soldiers appear unable or unwilling to wage an effective war against the insurgents. “They (soldiers) seem to be helpless and to fear the Boko Haram warriors who terrorize us here. But we are not afraid. They are men like us. And we are tired of folding our hands and allowing them to kill us, to kill our wives and to kill our children.”
